Good crew it's cool :) http://www.rethinkingmedia.nl/fioricetworldcom-2222.pdf ed-treatment.org  Well, just take the first one in our book, the Battle of Marathon. The East-West divide that we think of today between the Middle East and the Western world was created in 490 B.C., when 10,000 Athenian Hoplites defeated the massed formations of the Persian tyrant. If Athens had lost at Marathon, the only democratic city-state – the only democratic entity in the world with free markets, a constitution and people voting – would have been either wiped out or subjected to a tyrant. Everything we know about Greek culture, our entire concept of democracy, of free markets, would have been snuffed out 2,500 years ago.
